Six years is one heck of a wait, but..............

In 2005, I spotted a P-D-S set of the 1938 Oregon Trail still in the original card with beautiful tab toning. It had just been listed by a dealer I often checked, so I got on the phone immediately to buy it. Wouldn't you know that it had already sold just two minutes before my call. There have been a few times since then that I found a nicely toned Oregon Trail, but it always ended up that the auction went well beyond what I was willing to pay. Yes, hardly a week goes by that there aren't OT's listed on eBay, but every one of them is just blah blast white which doesn't appeal to me at all. Last night after reading more of Mark's thread, I decided to drop by Mark Feld Rare Coins which I do every so often, and there it was, a wonderfully toned 1926-S. It's in an NGC MS67 slab, and I wasn't going to pause even a moment to consider if I could afford. I contacted Mark, and he will be putting it in the mail tomorrow. So, here it is, and I'm as happy as a pig in........... Enjoy!
